A small-group Tokyo kaiseki dinner with an authentic geisha performance in Asakusa, plus time to talk through an English interpreter.
“This was a one of a kind adventure. We were so fortunate to book this tour. However, people need to be aware that they will have to climb stairs. It might keep someone handicapped, unable to take the tour.”
Kaiseki dinner plus traditional dance and music at SUIGIAN, Tokyo’s shrine-garden spot in Nihonbashi with a Noh-style stage and seasonal courses.
“What a wonderful nihon-buyo performance! Everything about the dance was beautifully put-together, and learning about the history of the decorations and artwork featured in the restaurant was also wonderful. I also definitely appreciated the English-language explanations of the food and the performances. The kaiseki food was also artfully plated and quite delicious. It was a great way to get an authentic cultural experience and meal to celebrate my birthday!”
